The Paducah News says a Cairo scien
tist has been among the growing corn, and
has been told by the thick coating of husks
about the ears, that the coming winter will
be an unusually cold one that the Missis
sippi will freeze deeper and remain frozen
longer than for years. If that observant
philosopher will call upon us nnd reason us
into Ins way of thinking, we'll put his name
down on tho arrearage bounty list. We

While the tuneral train was ascending
the dgcp cut, on its return from Villa
Ridge, Thursday, a hat was seen to go
overboard. Instantly a boy atout twelve
years of age plunged after it. As soon as
possible the train was brought to a halt,
everybody expecting to sec the lad brought
aboard seriously injured, if uot dead. In
stead ot that, however, thoso who looked
out of the window down the track, saw the
urchin, with an extra hat in his hand, chas
ing the train nt the top of his speed,nnd ap
parently as sound as a dollar.
The colored wood-sawyer, who sjwrts
a peg leg, an who ia an eminently success

way to Squire Robinson's office, yesterday,
and expressed a desire to sue somebody.
He didn't know the name of the man he
wanted to sue; but it was the man who
promised him two dollars nnd a halt if he
would vote for him ! lie had voted for the
man according to agreement, but all the
time since the April election had elapsed,
and still the $2.50 had not been handed
over. Poor man! The city should make
it good to him.
If mosquitoes don't reasou why is it
that when one is writing, they invariably
"go for" the hand that holds the pen or pen
cil? They seem to argue, nnd correctly
too, that the writer cannot disturb them
without stopping his writing, and that, as
a consequence, they are often permitted to
gorge themselves without annoyance. Our
right hand is ns raw as a fresh-cut beef
steak, while our left doesn't show a punc
ture. If that fact doesn't argue that mos
quitoes reason, it certainly indicates the
possession of an instinct that is a splendid
substitute for discretion.
Louis Grammer, a colored man who has
an oblique cast of the Ohio, and who is not
nt nil prepossessing otherwise, came to
Cairo some time ago as a tramp. Shiftless
nnd quarrelsome he finally became an in
tolerable nuisance. Yesterday afternoon,
fresh from the secno of one of his hotly con
tested verbal battles, he was taken before
Squire Robinson, nnd developing there into
a full-fledged vagrant, he was fined $50
and costs. That the city may be rid of his
presence the Squire gave him a stay until
10 o'clock this morning, by which time he
is to render himself conspicuously absent.
George Chendler, who was sent to the
penitentiary irom this city something over
a year ago, on a charge of larceny, is ngain
in Cairo, nnd proposes to stay here. He
protests most vehemently, we hear, that he
is innocent of the ciiit e for which he has
suffered, and will not leave the city until he
convinces the people of his innocence, nnd
that he paid the penalty ot a crime com
mittcd by some other person. As he is i
young man, having the greater part of lile
before him, wo hope he may succeed in his
purpose. It ho really is innocent it is worth
years of his time and effort to show it, am
we commend the stiirit that brinirs him
back hero on such a mission.
The twelve or fifteen youngsters, white
and black, who gathered in the park, yes
terday afternoon, bethought them that there
would be "lots of fun" iu a camp meeting,
and then; would have been, iinv4 likely,
had they been able to agree on a "preacher."
The youngster who offered himself for the
position was invariably cried down us
"wanting to boss everything," and then and
there, and one nfter another, the self-saeri-tiieng
chaps who offered to do the talking,
were compelled to subside or witness a
breaking up of the meeting. The biggest
boy linnlly mounted a stump, declared
himself a "hard-shell," and with strong
nasal iiitonntiou commenced his discourse.
An uproar ensued. The speaker hadn't
been elected. The speaker didn't care if
he hadn't. He'd been "called," and ho
was going to talk if ho didn't get u cent
for it; and if nny boy wanted to go homo
without any hair on his head, let tlmt boy
come tip and push him oil' t h' "pulpit."
, The challenge was not incepted, and it
looked as if the crowd, were doomed to the
Infliction a an Interminable "hard-shell'"
harangue, until the smallest chap in tho
groupo came to the rescue, and proposed
that they all go in a swimming! Before
tho "hard-shell" could round off his topic
"Sthly, c'ory urchin on tho ground was
head downward, flopping over tho park
fence, on his Way to tho Mississippi.
Our colored population aro much given
to barbecues of late, knowing, as they do,
that the carcasses of hogs, sheep, bullocks
and calves, roasted entire, ovor a great bin
ot glowing coals, form an attraction that it
is quite difflcut for rclishers of meats, to
resist. And it k undeniable, too, that iu
no other way known to the science of
cookery, can meats be rendered so tooth
some. Our attention is called to this mat
ter by tho appearance ot a lot of hand bill,s
from the Bulletin presses, announcing a
grand barbecue at Elm grove on tho west
side of the city, Saturday next. It will be
engineered by the members of one of the
social and charitable organizations among
our colored people, and provision will be
made to feed two thousand people.

Three or four youngsters discovered a
good sized hog in an old cistern, yesterday,
and impelled partly by sympathy for the
brute, and partly by the thought, that if
they rescued it, it would be their pork,
they at once commenced to devise ways and
means to release the animal from its con
finement. The plans were quite ingenious.
Securing a long wide board, they run it
down into the cistern and formed a slide
that stood at an angle of probably thirty
degrees. They then procured a strong
rope, and fixed u slipping noose on one end,
dropped it to the bottom, ns a trap for the
hog to step into, it was some time before
the noose took hold, and when it did fasten
itself. It was alwut the hog's neck. And
now came the tug of war. It required all
the united strength of the lads to move the
porker, aud several times he wriggled off
the board and hung suspended by the neck:
but the heroic determination to have him
out of that remained unimpaired.
Again and again the attempt
was renewed, and finally his
swineship was safely landed on upper tcrra
firma. It was a big achievement for the
boys, and a shout of triumph would have
signalized it, but for the ill doings of that
ungrateful hog. The moment he reached
the upper plane, with open-mouthed fero
city he dashed nt the groupe ot boys,
knocked one of them down and ran over
him, entangled his rope about the legs of
two other boys, turning them both a com
plete somersault, and dragging one of them
twenty feet or more, doublet! up like a
ball, and then with a "woosh ! swoosh !"'
dashed away with the rope, across the ad
jacent bottoms. It was several minutes
before a word was spoken.
At last, half tearfully, half resentfully one
of the groupe exclaimed: "'of nil the things
that ever lived, a hog is the only thing that
would have done that!" and then with a
stout resolvo that nil the hogs iu creation
might starve to death on the bottoms of old
cisterns before they'd help uuother one out,
they started for the foot of Dickey's Island
to cool off in the waters of the Mississippi.
The editor "f the New Orleans Times
asserts, as Tun Bulletin has otter, asserted,
that it is the sheerest nonsense to contend
that a majority of the tramps that now
curse the country want work. They do not
want work, and would not accept employ
ment if tendered to them. This fact has
been illustrated in Cairo time and time
again and conspicuously iu the ense where
thirty-six tramps agreetl to work for the C.
A; V. railroad at 25 cents mi hour, nnd only
one tramp out of the whole number worked
one hour. It is clear ns noon-dny that
their whole object is to live on charity and
plunder, and lead a life
of idleness. They are too,) in pu'isning
this purpose, becoming a terror every
where, and especially to families living in
isolated localities. Almost every newspa
per of the day contains accounts of crimes
of the most horrible and fiendish kind,
committed by these itinerant vagrants. It is
no longer safe for any woman to live alone,
or even with small children anywhere, be
yond the call of help. So well and gener
ally is this lnet known that the appearance
of a strange man walking along the coun
try highways, is sufficient to cause tho w o
men to tremble in fright and to lock and
bnr the doors ns a measure of personal sc.
curity. This, and much more being true,
the tramp laws nro not only a necessity;
but the officer of the law who refuses -or
neglect to rigidly enforce them, is mi mi
worthy servnut. Without such laws, nt
tho rato at which tramps are increasing,
t
hut a few years would elapse, oeioro peopio
would be afraid to live In
the country, save in communities,
large enough to Insure tho constant
presenco of two or more men. It is worse
thau folly to waste symyathy on a class ot
men who have uot sufficient Bclt-respect to
keep themselves clean. Experience shows
that tho only way to deal with them is to
treat them as vagrants and criminals. Tho
majority of them, if they aro not criminals
in fact, nro crimiuals in intent. All they
want is tho opportunity, and their truo
character will quickly display itself. Their
halid is against every honest man's hand
and every honest man's hand
will bo against them. They must bo got
rid of some way or ether, and the surest
way ut prescut seems to be a vigorous en
forcement of tho vagrant laws. The, argu
incut that men aro tramps from necessity is
not tenable. In n country like this, work
can always bo found which will vield a
living at least. In this State there is al
ways a demand for honest laborers, as there
is in every other State. The work offered
may not always be tho kind of work that a
man wants to do, but beggers must not bo
choosers.
On our editorial page, to-day, we call
attention to the new game law ; but feeling
that we can scarcely make the matter too
conspicuous, we here refer to it again. A
penalty is prescribed tor killing deer or
wild turkeys between the 15th of January
aud the 1st of September. Prairie chicken
must not be killed at any time between
December 1st aud August 15th. Quail nud
rufiled grouse are protected during the in
terval between January 1st and October
1st. The killiug of each bird or anima
constitutes a separate offense and subjects
the offender to a fine of not less than five
nor more than twenty-live dollars. Inabil
ity to pay the due subjects the guilty party
to imprisonment for a period not exceeding
ten days. The law further provides that
the birds enumerated shall nt no time In
taken with a trap, snare or net, under sim
ilar penalties; and any dealer convicted of
purchasing trapped, snared or netted birds,
renders himself liable to precisely the same
penalty. Now, having said this much, that
no one who reads The Bulletin may
violate the law ignorant!)', we have to say
as an item of intelligence, that a number
of responsible gentlemen, living in differ
ent portions of Alexander county, have cx
pressed a determination to proscute every
violation of the law of which they become
advised. We admonish thnse who have
been given to the killing ol game whenever
inclination moves them, to lookout. The
wanton destruction of quail through the
agency of nets nnd traps, last winter, when
those most toothsome game birds were freely
offered at from u5 cents to 40 cents per
dozen, has begotten a determination on the
part ot our people, in country as well ns
town, to prosecute violators of the law, let
them be whom they may. It would be
well for everybody concerned, to lenr this
fact constantly in mind.
